If drafting a guy who was a top tac cup, national u/18 and AGS prospect a punt, then sure.
It’s like the club saying they took a punt on Gach Nyuon
Punt??? He was a duel All Australian as a junior and we got him for a rookie spot.
Yestin had a past that he needed assistance with but Gach didn’t
If that’s the extent of what we are willing to risk then it’s little wonder why we haven’t drafted more speculatively in the last 10 years.
I’m not saying this is anyone here but the using Eades case as a cautionary tale is despicable btw.
The punt with Eades was all the off field stuff.
And yes it was a massive punt.
Which unfortunately didn’t pan out for either party.
No one I can see has used it as a cautionary tale.
Someone just said we took a punt.
Which we did.
And you then try and turn it into something else.
Just as an aside; I got the Van Diemen Dons to sponsor him, so I certainly personally supported the idea of him on our list.

I know you did, that wasn’t directed at you, but there are a few within the walls that have since

No, not at all.
They just like leadership
I give about as much credence to those videos as I do to all the emails from the nice lady in Benin who wants me to help her get access to her deceased husband’s bank accounts.

Hope he turns into a gun and we can rile up hawks for passing on him.

You just need to look how excited all the supporters get when we pick up a kid like Mosquito.
You gotta love an exciting player, has worked hard to turn his life around, and loves his footy.
We have seriously lacked this feeling at draft time over the last few years.

Just quietly l reckon benfti would be more than a tad happy with the recruitment of young Mozzie.
